On March 22, an eminent and well balanced panel of experts from Austria and the U.S. discussed the UN Nuclear Ban Treaty at the Austrian Embassy. The treaty was negotiated and finalized in record time last year. In spite of initial skepticism on the usefulness of such an event in the capital of the dominant nuclear power, the panelists and audience alike hailed the animated but respectful and constructive debate on this controversial matter, also during the wine and food reception that followed.
